agricultural use. It is characterised by mixed land uses and indeterminate inner and outer boundaries, and
typically is split between a number of administrative areas. The term peri-urbanization refers to a process in
which rural areas located on the outskirts of established cities become more urban in character, in physical,
economic, and social terms. Two important impacts of peri-urbanization are spatial transformation and
economic diversification. Spatial transformation seen through chang es in the form of land use, changes in
land prices, and environmental changes. Economic diversification seen through livelihoods diversification from
farmers into non-farmer occupation.

An example is the plurality of the entrance element, the provision of portals to roads, and the inaccessibility of open spaces such as parks to the public. Therefore, this study discusses the relationship between the spatial configuration of a gated community and social segregation by analyzing spatial elements, such as boundaries, roads, and public spaces. The relationship is described quantitatively with the integration value (R), both on local (R3) and global (Rn) scales, generated by the DepthmapX application from Space Syntax. One of the gated communities in Surabaya, Indonesia, Citraland, was chosen as a case study. The results showed that the higher the integration value, the lower the level of segregation and vice versa. Furthermore, it proves that the primary circulation path has the highest in...

The relationship is described quantitatively with the integration value (R), both on local (R3) and global (Rn) scales, generated by the DepthmapX application from Space Syntax. One of the gated communities in Surabaya, Indonesia, Citraland, was chosen as a case study. The results showed that the higher the integration value, the lower the level of segregation and vice versa. Furthermore, it proves that the primary circulation path has the highest integration value and is the main axis influencing segregation. The number of entrances does not affect segregation as opposed to its relationship to the main axis. The number of public spaces also does not affect segregation, as opposed to the relationship between the location of public spaces and the main axis. The level of segregation of gated communities is very likely to differ on a local scale (R3) and a global scale (Rn). Citraland has proven to be integrative on a local scale but segregative on a global scale.

However, with increased number of middle and high class and result of social and economic gap, security has become the basis of such development. Security aspect is manifested in exclusive design area which tends to reinforce both spatial and social segregation. Looking at very different situation in Indonesian context, where large scale gated community is not a form of exclusive enclave, it is interesting to study connection between security and segregation. Gated community with gate, wall, or barrier, might be a form of security or function of segregation between classes, or could be both. This paper explores the discourse of security and segregation by observing gating element of the gated community. Three gated communities in Surabaya's peri-urban, Indonesia, are used as a case study. This paper finds gated community is a way to gain security and did not mean to segregate.

In vice verse, most of social scientists believe it is social dynamic that plays role in shaping our space. How people spend their time moving from real space into cyber space is a proof that life style and IT give impact to space usage. This paper argues that interaction between physical design and social change is a two ways process. Both design aspect and social dynamic influence each other. This paper aims to examine how designing of gated community plays important role in increasing or decreasing segregation, both spatially and socially. The paper explores some architectural design principles applied in a gated community called CitraLand in west Surabaya, Indonesia, and addresses segregation between CitraLanders and outside kampung. We find CitraLand is designed openly and fully accessible for outsiders. It provides public spaces and several accessible gates and streets without walls and fences making all places inside and outside CitraLand spatially integrated. What's interesting is it still reinforces social segregation due to its policy on prohibiting using the public park. We believe CitraLand's planning and designing has successfully solved segregation problem spatially not socially.

Gating usually manifested on spatial elements such as gate, wall, fence, security check point, swing up portal, etc. at their main entrance. The term gating then relates to gated community as a modern-exclusive residential which is in some cases, reinforce both spatial and social segregation. This paper analyzes gating and its relation to segregation from spatial point of view. The role and function of wall, gate, and border is analyzed to define whether it is a manifestation of security or a matter of life style. This paper concludes gating as both security and life style aspect, and gives influence to semi-restricted segregation.

town CitraLand for example, maintains relation by making access to kampung surroundings. It is not walled
entirely. This high-class new town provides gates and streets and some public areas which is accessible for
kampung inhabitants. The relation of CitraLand and kampungs forms a unique neighborhood. But the
question of class segregation is still there. Who gets benefit of open-access streets: the kampungs or
CitraLand? How CitraLand maintains its privacy while at the same time allows public to go through of it?
Why can’t we find a place where both kampung and CitraLand communities share public space together at
the same time? We use map, take pictures, and interview kampung inhabitants on street and public
spaces, to analyze how they perceive and use spaces in CitraLand. We find that gates and streets in
CitraLand are used for short cut through only not as a destination. Some kampung inhabitants prefer to
use kampung streets and avoid going through CitraLand streets due to “not belonging feelings”. The only
public space where kampung inhabitants spend their weekend morning is waterpark which is not fully used
by CitraLand inhabitants. We argue there is (still) segregation and that the new shape of neighborhood
between kampung and CitraLand actually never exists. Both communities share gates, streets and public
space but never for real have connection. They share spaces spatially NOT socially.

Some argued that vendors always disturb people in parks, make noises, and dirty; but some else argued that vendors could enliven the environment of the park. Research was done in 3 parks in down town Medan.

of Tjong A Fie House with a sense of history in order to participate and to maintan its sustainbility.
But in fact, there are many peoples who do not know about the existence of Tjong A Fie House, not
even to realise and participate to care about, not even preserved particularly by local community. This
is due to the less awareness of the existence of Tjong A Fie House by local community. One effort
that can be done to overcome this problem is to engage the community to work together in
maintaining the house of Tjong A Fie as the Identity of Medan. Community engagement in
conservation of Tjong A Fie House is one of the priorities to be achieved in the utilization of
historical buildings which aims to increase public awareness of the importance of historical buildings
so that peoples will participate more in preserving Tjong A Fie House.

The immediacy of this topic can be found in recent urban research positing that the neighbourhood is at substantial risk of fading into history as global mega-projects with vast footprints, master plans, and large-scale privatization of urban space are " kill[ing] much of the urban tissue " of smaller urban spaces. These are the place-based geographies of the city that have long provided for cosmopolitan diversity and in which marginalized populations are able to assert their agency in city-making (Sassen, 2016:1). Pursuing the " art of being global " (Roy and Ong, 2011), cities in Asia fall more and more within what can be called an " urbanism of projects " (Goldblum, 2015: 374), leading to a rupture with their historic organic urban growth. In that context, urban figures are given priority over urban texture: " While the pieces of cities are occasionally spectacular, the parts do not add up to anything larger nor do they contribute to the extended setting " (Chow, 2015: 4). The urbanism of projects also acknowledges the primacy of a " super urban network " over local urban territories, opening the way for a " splintering urbanism " (Graham and Marvin, 2001). Once low rise and organic, cities in Asia have engaged into a verticalization process in a functionalist perspective, especially in new urbanized areas flourishing at its edge. These steady transformations affect social cohesion and lead to re-compositions of the historical and structuring forms of lanes and neighbourhoods.
The richness of the highly polysemous notion of " neighbourhood " is linked with its reference both to built and social environments. It corresponds to the smallest social unit for urban place-making, a dimension that John Friedmann synthesizes as " a small urban space that is cherished by the people who inhabit it (2009: 5). This universal definition focuses on three main criteria: its small scale, its inhabited dimension and its local attachment and appropriations by local communities. It can be seen both as an intimate place of social encounters and a field of expression of social forces, which is practiced – and thus performed – on a daily basis (Lefebvre, 1991). As such, appropriated lanes and neighbourhoods generate local centralities in the city they belong to.
The conference seeks to reflect on the specificity of the socio-spatial production – and its current evolutions – of neighbourhoods in the Asian context. Theoretically, the objective is to question the everyday nature of the urbanisation process, from the specific perspective of cities in Asia, historically characterized by the " smallness " of their plots division and the richness of lanes' appropriations, both of them leading to a specific sense of local territoriality. Beyond this theoretical frame, the conference seeks to broaden the debate from a civil society perspective and to engage the discussion with locally rooted activism experiences, working on " reclaiming [the] cities neighbourhood by neighbourhoods " (Friedmann, 2009). In doing so, we are eager to revalue the productions of everyday urbanism and to decipher the richness of local urban and social fabrics from historical as well as contemporary perspectives.
